Don't use "Added" and "Removed" in the Comparison Results report
I just want to share the differences between two databases with the developer and will have to explain that added or removed does not mean that anything was actually added or removed yet.

Make script file an editable text file so we review, edit or programmatically generate the file.
Make script file an editable plain text file so we review, edit or programmatically generate the file.
Once the script file is used, there is no good way to retrieve what were included in that file, especially if the included objects have been removed.
It will help us keep track of changes across multiple scripts (SCP) over time.
Make it an option to compress it in case it is a large deployment.

Page Not Found error when I try to get details on updates
Getting page not found error again when I try to get full details for updates to SQL Compare. URL being hit is https://documentation.red-gate.com/display/SC14/SQL+Compare+14.3+release+notes.
I get the feeling that this needs to be added to the "new version number" checklist or something alone those lines. Had similar issue a few builds back.

Refresh clears the details at the bottom. Clicking on highlighted object does not bring up details.
SQL Compare ver 14.2.16.16006 Professional. When I select an object that is different, the details pane is brought up from the bottom. If I click on Refresh, a re-compare is performed and the detail pane goes away. The object that was previously highlighted, is still highlighted. When I click on that object, the detail pane does not come up. I need to click on another object to bring up the detail pane, then click on the original object.

Ability to safely edit the previous server lists
Please see this thread
https://forum.red-gate.com/discussion/comment/162865#Comment_162865
I would suggest that because the proposed solution requires knowledge and access to the Registry this should be a feature to edit the list.

Attempt to detect table renames
SQL Compare should try to detect renamed tables and use sp_rename. At the moment, the existing table is dropped and a new table is created with the new name. To avoid data loss, it is necessary to create a migration script but SQL Compare should be able to detect this in a similar way to how it detects column renames.

Add Control+Insert to products
In Windows operation systems it is a common way to use Control+Insert keys instead of Control+C to copy selected text.
This is necessary to support left-mouse-handed people and it's driving me crazy that it does not work within your product(s).
At least I would love to use this option when working within the Comparison to copy code from a left or right script using Ctrl+Ins.
For completeness you should also keep "Shift+Insert" for Paste and "Shift+Del" for Cut operations in mind.

Filter for sensitivity of column data type comparison
For example, I would like to ignore when a column is a VARCHAR on both databases but with different lengths so I can focus on when the 2 data types are completely different eg. VARCHAR and NUMERIC.

Fix the selection of working folders
Let me change the location of the users data folders. The application creates a folder inside the Documents folder. When I change the location in the Application options dialog still a folder inside the Documents folder is being used. I want my Documents folder not to be used by this application

Add Version # to your objects/DB
When running a deployment (especially for the automated DevOps part, but even for creating a deploy script) you should have the option to enter/update a new Extended Property value called like “RedGate Version #” with whatever the version number you get from the source control for that object. Ideally it would be nice to also update that in the database level Extended Property as well, but at least on whatever object you are making a change to with that deployment. That way you can self-document what the latest version control number was for that particular object (or the DB as…

Easier Method to Snapshot Multiple Databases from same server(s)
1) SQL Compare has handy database snapshot ability to a folder. It would be great if rather than creating 1 database snapshot at a time you could tick each of the databases you'd like a snapshot created for.
2) Would be cool if like SQL Multiscript tool, you can speficity multiple servers and databases and have the snapshots named and/or placed in folders with server and database names.

Ignore permissions doesn't
SQL Compare 14.2.4.15334
I have checked "Ignore permissions" and "Ignore users' permissions and role memberships", but deployment script is creating grants for existing permissions on tables being recreated (replacement table created & populated, old table dropped, & replacement table renamed). Expectation is that it obeys the ignore options.2 votes -
Export HTML via "Generate Comparison Results Report" using Command Shell
There should be a way to Export HTML via "Generate Comparison Results Report" using Command Shell.
When we have a ".scp" file which contains the Information about the Databases to be compared, which is saved as a project.scp.
In this case, if we have a ".scp" file, then is there any command to export the html.?3 votes -
Databases with a large amount of objects hangs

More efficient scripting for non-varchar/nvarchar extended properties
At the moment, extended properties that are varchar or nvarchar are scripted out by SQL Compare as literals ('value' or N'value'). Unfortunately every other data type is scripted out over three lines (plus a GO), declaring an @xp variable of the appropriate data type, SELECTing (not SETting) its value, and finally adding the property.
With heavy use of extended properties, or even mild use of non-(n)varchar properties, change scripts (and object scripts in SQL Source Control) can become huge pretty quickly. This causes various issues, not least of which is readability during peer review/PR approval.
I'd like to see this…
